Christmas Prezzies!
The last few weeks have been a crazy sewing frenzy around here -- my side of the family decided to do a handmade Christmas and I had so many projects going I had no time to blog. We're feeling alot better too, so that's helped alot.So now that the Twelve Days of Christmas are here (we're on Day 3 for those of you keeping track), I'm going to show off a few of the presents I made. These were for mom:Pattern: Heather Ross UPDATED (11/10): This pattern is no longer available from the original link I provided here; it can now be found in Heather's fabulous book, Weekend Sewing. Fabric: Heather Ross Mendocino (outer), purple fleece innerModifications: The first time I made this pattern I found that the heel was too short (they slipped off the back of my feet), so I added 1" to the inside edge of the slipper top. I also used the "trick" from last time of sewing both inner and outer soles on and then turning the slipper inside out at the end instead of hand-stitching the outer sole on.Also I made the pattern longer. It runs small not to mention Dutch women have the largest feet in the known universe.Merry Christmas Mom!Next time: MORE PREZZIES!
